"Police have begun an operation to clear a protest camp near Old Parliament House in Canberra as two so-called sovereign citizen activists allegedly involved in last month’s protest when a fire broke out were granted bail in a local court.

The operation on Friday followed a request from the National Capital Authority (NCA) to “remove structures and vehicles that are on commonwealth land without a permit”.

Police told the protesters that by 4pm all tents, caravans, vehicles and other camping equipment had to be cleared “or police may remove and take custody of these items”. The “sovereign citizens” shouted back: “Shame on you.”"

"The protesters have been linked to a ‘sovereign citizen’ group who are opposed to COVID-19 vaccinations and have called for the federal government to be “evicted”."
